β-Amyrin synthase incubation experiments have been conducted to determine the influence of steric effects at the 6-, 10- and 15-positions of 2,3-oxidosqualene on the polycyclisation pathway. Nor- and ethyl-substituted oxidosqualene analogues were synthesised. Cyclisation of the ethyl-substituted analogues did not occur, but the nor analogues underwent a polycyclisation cascade to yield fully cyclised
已经进行了 β-香树脂醇合酶孵育实验,以确定 2,3-氧化角鲨烯 6-、10-和 15-位的空间效应对多环化途径的影响。合成了去甲和乙基取代的氧化角鲨烯类似物。乙基取代的类似物没有发生环化,但 nor 类似物经历了多环化级联反应以产生完全环化的产物,其中 6/6/6/6/6 稠合的五环支架通过最终的齐墩果基阳离子产生。以前,我们报道了 19-和 23-乙基取代的类似物经历了多环化反应。因此,早期环化步骤中涉及的催化域特别紧凑。相比之下,后面环化步骤中的催化域更松散地堆积(不太紧凑)以容纳庞大的乙基。
